You won't believe how much money Kim Kardashian is making every minute on her fragrance range

By now, most of us have accepted that we'll never even come close to Kim Kardashian's success.

From her beauty collaborations to her fashion campaigns, Kim Kardashian likes to go big when it comes to anything KKW branded. After launching her cosmetics line, Kim is steaming full speed ahead with her newest product: a gorgeous new perfume - and the newest collection certainly hasn't disappointed fans...or Kim's bank account.

According to TMZ, the reality star made a whoping $5million in the first five minutes of the new fragrances being released - and she didn't spend a single penny on advertising.

Admittedly, having famous pals does have its perks, with Kim sending out the fragrances to other stars including Drew Barrymore and all of her sisters, who then gave her a plug on Instagram, which definitely gave her more exposure than any amount of paid advertising could.

And this isn't the first time Kim has made an insane amount of money within a matter of minutes, when her first perfume launch last year made $14million. Now THAT's what you'd call a payday.

The queen of breaking the internet promoted the new collection on her Instagram prior to the release, showing off her enviable curves and glowing tan in a white bikini, posing with one of the new fragrances.

The new perfumes include KIMOJI Peach, Vibes and Cherry. The bottles are about as cutesy and Kim-like as you'd expect from a line of Kimoji perfumes. The scents themselves are sticky-sweet and fruit-inspired, according to the brand's Instagram.

All three of the scents are available now for $45 (£35) from KKWFRAGRANCE.COM

The first hint that KKW beauty was coming

Back in September last year, Kim shared a photo of white orchids that almost went unnoticed in her full of selfies and family shots feed - BUT a mysterious new Instagram account was tagged: @kkwfragrance.

The inspiration

Two months later and the new Insta account had 15,000 followers and a lot of information on the new release. Kim's first fragrance was inspired by the power of crystals - and the bottle is clearly a replica of the stones; chic and borderline minimalist. We love it.

For those that don't know, it's believed that crystals have the power to hold onto energies, and can be "programmed" to carry certain types of positive feelings - as well as be used for cleansing, pulling negative feelings from your body.

Just like tuberose, gardenia is usually interpreted as a strong scent that people either love or hate. It can be musky or it can be refreshing - depending if it's used as the perfume's base or as a top note.

The campaign

And as anything Kardashian-related, the fragrance came with a photoshoot. A gorgeous Kim Kardashian-West posed with crystal necklaces and natural hair and makeup.

Kim went back to blonde for the Famous exhibition. We wonder if she'll ever make the permanent change!

Kim looked absolutely gorgeous at the Vogue Festival over the weekend. We are loving her slightly shorter hair and large lashes.

Kim was at the 2016 Webby Awards (where she won an award for breaking the internet) sporting one of her most natural beauty looks yet. She left her false lashes and extensions at home, this time opting for nude lips and a simple sleek hairstyle.

In keeping with the technology-inspired theme, Kim went all futuristic on us at the 2016 Met Gala. She slicked back her hair and wore large lashes and matte lips.

Kim Kardashian-West took time off from Snapchat to show off her new hair. The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star showed off her new ombré locks, created by her hairstylist Cesar Ramirez. We reckon this could be Kim's chicest look yet.

Kim donned an ice-blonde wig at Kanye's fashion show in February 2016. We wonder if she's thinking about dying her hair again?

Just like her sisters, Kim is a fan of chic braids. The star recently opted for two glossy double plaits.

A simple sleek updo is Kim's fail-safe hair look. She likes to pair this kind of 'do with nude lips and gold eye makeup.
